BY PAUL BURROWES Tuesday, November 03, 2009
Shantal Blackwood, Megan Viera, and Nicholene Bryan worked their way to the top of the third staging of the two-day Guardian Life All Girls Junior Tennis Championships which ended Sunday at the Liguanea Club.
Blackwood overpowered Sicquena Sinclair 7-6, 6-3 for the Advanced title, while Megan Viera eclipsed tennis stunner and potential Miss Jamaica Teenage Maria Mair 6-3, 6-4 for the Intermediate trophy.
For the Beginner's title, St Andrew High's 16-year-old Bryan, in her first year of playing the sport but with a natural built of a sprinter, upstaged Mishika Hoo-Kim 6-3, 7-6.
Guardian Life Advisor Claudette Jackson-Rickards, present to hand out the trophies, expressed her company's commitment to the development of girls' tennis and preparation for the future.
Meanwhile, national technical co-ordinator Douglas Burke reiterated that the opportunities for girls to get tennis scholarships in the United States "are large". "Every division one university in the US has eight full scholarships for girls, and only four and half for boys," he explained. He noted that under NCAA rules, universities were instructed "to allocate more funds to female athletics and as a result there is an increase in the amount of scholarship money available for girls", Burke added
